Y’all. Y’ALL. These are incredible! I’m pretty new to sardines but every type I try I make sure to try plain from the tin first. These are the first that I genuinely think I could eat the entire tin plain.
Large, firm fillets with a delicious smoky flavour. It reminded me a bit of smoked trout tbh. I read that these are the only Brunswick sardines that are truly smoked rather than using liquid smoke.
I ended up having them mashed up with mayo and celery on the pitiful remnants of a sourdough loaf, with yellow mustard and Melinda’s ghost pepper sauce (not pictured).
I will be picking up some saltines, nicer mustard, bagels, and cream cheese ASAP.
I will also be filling my cupboards with these. And putting some in Christmas stockings. And yapping non-stop to my friends about them.
The only thing that I don’t like is that they’re boneless, because the whole reason I got into deenz was for the nutritional benefits.
Tldr: 1000/10, get in my face hole immediately!

Thanks for the rec I’ll look for these! Smoked fish is the best.
I just ordered 12 cans on Amazon based on your review. Thanks, friend!
I got a tin after hearing the glowing reviews but I haven’t tried them yet. Something about the kipper snack style just never seems very appetizing visually lol. You’re inspiring me though, I’m gonna have to give them a try soon.
Best thing I can buy at most Canadian grocery stores, and often quite cheap!
Crazy, just bought a 12 pack on amazon but wouldn’t find a review of them so I was kinda doing a leap of faith with them. Then I saw this lol
Based on your title post I initially thought you got violent food poisoning lol
Oh these are absolutely the best cheap grocery store sardines. They have em at the dollar store near me. Mashed with some mayo and salt and pepper, and some cheap white bread, makes a great comfort food.
One of the reasons I like this sub is the positivity. I did get suckered thinking some Mr Ballen tier disaster had occurred, though.
